SPECIFICATION forming part ofLetters Patent No. 295,587, dated March 25, 1884.

Application filed November 10,1883. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known-that I, HYMENUs C. SADLER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Booneville, in the county of Logan and State of Arkansas, have invented anew and useful Uhuru-Motor, of which the following is a speci'- fication, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to churn-motors; and

it has for its object to construct the dasherhandle in two separable pieces, in such a manner that the lower portion containing the dasher may be taken out without disturbing or interfering with the mechanism ofthe churn. A further object of my invention provides for attaching the operating band so that there will be no slipping of the same while in use.

To attain these and other minor objects the said invention consists -in certain improvements in the construction and combination of parts, as hereinafter fully set forth, and particularly pointed out in the claim. In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a perspective view of my improved churn motor. Fig. 2 represents aV vertical sectional view of the same. Fig. 3 represents a sectional view taken through the dasherhandle, and illustrating the peculiar construe-i tion thereof.

Like letters refer to correspondingi'parts in the several gures. i

Referring to the drawings, A designates the base of my improved churn-motor, having at its rear end an upright, B, erected thereon, arms G--two in number-being mortised in the upper part of the upright, and extending frward parallelwith each other, as shown. Sockets a are formed in the forward ends of the arms C, to receive the dasher shaft or handle D, the latter being provided with an annular depression, b, in which the sides of the sockets rest, so. that when the dasher-shaft is operated there will be no danger of the same slipping or moving out of its sockets. At its lower end the dasher shaft or handle D is divided into two pieces, the upper portion be-V ing formed with a dovetailed recess, E,in which iits a corresponding dovetailed projection, G, on the `upper end of the lower section of the dasher-shaft. This dovetailed recess is formed in any possible manner.

in one side of the upper section, and a springpressed flap or plate, H, is pivoted above the recess, and is adapted to cover the projection when seated in the recess, and thus prevent the lower section from moving out of place. When it is desiredrto take the lower section out when the churning has been completed, the pivoted spring-pressed flap is'withdrawn from contact against the projection, and the lower section may then be taken out without interfering with or disturbing the mechanism To the lower end of the dasher shaft or handle is secured a dasher, I, constructed in the' form of a fork, having vertical beaters i, separated by vertical slots l, and to theupper end of the dasher-shaft is tted a fan, J, for the purpose well known in this class of machines.

K designates a lever provided with a lug, la, extending forward and pivoted between extensions L ofthe arms C, said extensions being arranged parallel in a similar manner to the arms, sopas to allow the lever to work or vibrate between the same. Knobs or han dles M are formed with the ends of the lever for operating the same: j

N is a bow or curved frame,having itsends bent inward and secured tothe front face of the lever, the main portion of the bow being arranged in front of the .upright B, and working between the arms C as the lever is oscillatedl or vibrated to and fro.

To the ends of the leverK are secured straps P, which are secured to and wound upon the dasher-shaft in reverse directions, s-o that one strap will be wound upon the shaft as the other is unwound. These straps are 'guided by the bow in their movements, and by the manner of connecting them to the dasher-shaft there will be no danger of them slipping, but the parts willl work true and correct.

rlhe operation of my invention will be readily understood without reciting its manner of working.

The advantages are numerous, the straps being held against the bow and guided by the same as the motor is operated, while the peculiar construction of the dasher-shaft permits the lower section containing the dasher to be readily taken out as desired. The con- IOO struction is simple and durable, and its op- I jeetion and coveringthe joint,vso as to hold eration in practice has been demonstrated to the saine in place, as and for the purpose set be efficient; forth.

Having described my invention7 I claim as In testimony thatI cla-ini the foregoing as my 15 5 new and desire to secure by Letters Patentown I have hereto affixed my signature in pres- Ihe dasher-shaft having its lower section ence of two witnesses.
